Linodes Unisex 006 PU Leather Upper Slip-on Jazz Shoe for Women and Men's Dance Shoes

My daughter is a big 11-year-old. Probably more the size of an eighth grader. She wears a size 9 shoe and these size 9 fit her perfectly. She could run around in them and after a full performance weekend, they still look new. As long as her feet don’t grow out of them. They are definitely usable for another show. Comfortable, good quality, and the beige color matches with anything.

My daughters usually wear 9 women’s and I bought 8.5 of these shoes and they were a perfect fit! Good shoes!

The Linodes "PU leather" upper is synthetic. I didn't pick up on the PU until I received them. I got these to replace the Bloch split soles I have almost worn out. The heels are gone and there is a hole developing in the toe. I compared the new Linodes side by side with the old Bloch pair. They are very similar. The Linodes are noticeably longer for the same size, 8.5. The Linodes upper material is thinner and synthetic vs the real leather on the Blochs. The stitching is different, see pictures. The heel and sole appear almost identical to when the Bloch was new. Neither has any arch support, which is expected with this style. The Linodes do not have a noticeable smell, but I haven't worn them yet. The Blochs are stinky after I wear them so I wash them and use no-stink foot spray in them. I expect the Linodes will be similar. The Blochs were made in Cambodia. The Linodes are made in China. The Linodes feel good when I put them on, mostly. The interior heel and toe pads rub on the bottoms of my feet a bit where the stitching is. I hope this will disappear as they wear in. My toes don't reach all the way to the end, but it doesn't seem to be tripping me up because the material is soft. Overall the Linodes are a good value for a practice shoe, $15 vs. $40 for the Bloch. The quality isn't as good, but for the way I wear out shoes, it is a good bargain for a spare pair. If I get another pair of Linodes I will probably go down a half or whole size.

Perfectly sized! We were instructed by our music teacher to go up two sizes as they tend to run small. Perfect match!

Good dance shoe for the price, very soft and flexible. my granddaughter says they feel comfortable when she's practicing in them, not stiff at all

My daughter loves these. She needed them for rehearsals and for a show she is currently in. They are comfy and durable!

These are good jazz shoes. I wear a women's 10/10.5 (41eu) and the size 10 fit well. The top goes a little too close to my ankle, causing it to rub uncomfortably sometimes. I wish the top was a bit shorter. The padding on the ball of the foot is good, but it needs to extend a little closer to the toes. I can already tell I'm going to wear a hole in the toe from lack of padding after just one practice wearing them. Overall, they're good for the price.

Excelente calidad y sientan muy bien yo aconsejaría comprar 1/2 número más de lo que usas

Decent quality, although my daughter only wore them for a short season. Maybe if dancing multiple classes a week it woukd be different.

My Son uses them during his performances and says they are great!

Vienen un poco amplios pero la talla es adecuada

Worked good for dancer
